Yeah for sure, as it turns out, overhead view games make great use of
frustum culling because since the world is horizontal but your camera is
viewing vertically, only a small amount of objects lie inside the "viewable
area" :P
i was thinking maybe we could use kent's machine as the minspec machine,
saying "if it runs on kents machine at 30fps, that's good enough"
Hey Kent do you know what kind of video card you have? I think i have a
gforce4 something....
thanks for the numbers, we'll do a profiling run before too long on your
comp and figure out what the slow parts are for you on your machine (:
